Next step in clearing "check swith"

[daveh505@comcast.net]

I have a new VIP211K and a 1000.2 dish combo. I could not get tthe 1000.2 to 'see' the correct birds. To make sure I did not have a faulty reciever I hooked the 211K to a stationary Dish 500. The 211K works great. I got several HD channels so the HD part of the 211K works also. When I started to use my 1000.2 Dish I needed to clear the Dish 500 'check switch' info out of the receiver. I disconnected the Sat In coax and ran 'check switch'. When the message about "not recommended to remove satellites" appears do I go ahead and save or what? I've learned that these messages have a lot of impact on how well the reciever works so I need some guidance.
Thanks​

If you are on the WARC, all you need to do is go to the point dish and select one of the Sat's on the WARC and then select "Done" I just replaced my 722 on the EARC with a 1000.4 and the instructions that came with it were outdated. The check switch wanted me to go to a sat I was no longer aimed at. The CSR had me point to 77 and select "Done". After that it downloaded everything and I was set to go on the EARC.

What I specifically need to know is when I do a 'check switch' to clear the Dish 500 info out of the reciever and I get the message warning me about 'removing satellites not recomended' do I go ahead and save or what?

yes go ahead and save it...if it says you have fewer sats now or whatever save it to clear out everything

When I tried to do the check switch, it kept wanting me to aim at 119 for Dish 500 and after doing a check switch I could go no further because it wasn't aimed at 119. As I said, the CSR had me point to 77 on the EARC and then just select "Done". It then proceed to download all the info needed for it to activate. I assume you need to point at an WARC sat and do the same. If you are having problems call up Dish tech support and have them walk you through it.
